上海外滩美术馆 × Parapraxis 晚夏课堂 2026
“庇护所（Asylum）”一词长期以来承载着双重含义：既指寻求庇护之所，也指对病症的治疗。而“异化（Alienation）”同样具有双重意义：既意味着精神层面的疏离，也指向个体与其物质现实之间的脱节与失认。
然而，庇护机构本身——如同任何制度性结构——也可能同时制造异化，并参与其疗愈。20世纪30年代，加泰罗尼亚精神分析学家弗朗塞斯克·托斯凯列斯（Francesc Tosquelles）率先提出这一观察。托斯凯列斯因其在法国南部圣阿尔邦医院（Saint-Alban Hospital）的实践而闻名。他认为，机构本身也需要被“治疗”，并能够成为重新学习、或解除既定社会与政治条件化的空间——他将这一过程称为“去异化（disalienation）”。推而广之，这样的空间甚至可能成为疗愈社会的契机。后来，这一实践被命名为“制度治疗（institutional psychotherapy）”。
在2026年上海外滩美术馆晚夏课堂中，面向二十一世纪的精神分析期刊Parapraxis将受邀策划并带领一次围绕上述问题展开的集体实验。参与者将共同工作、学习，并共同参与一个临时集体的组织与运作。同时，项目还将带领参与者走访与上海精神健康实践历史及文化相关的重要场所，包括上海普慈疗养院旧址(现上海精神卫生中心闵行院区)；中国首家设立于精神卫生机构内部的艺术空间（600号画廊）；以及数位五四时期作家的故居——其文学创作曾回应并触及精神分析的相关议题。
本届“晚夏课堂”将通过两条相互关联的学习路径展开。每日项目由一次全体会议及两个小组任务构成，参与者将在一周内轮流进入不同小组。实地考察、诗歌朗读、影像分享、讲座与讨论将共同构成课程结构，并围绕历史与方法论展开，聚焦那些在艺术实践、社会思潮与研究场域中持续探索个体与集体可能性的案例与经验。
“上海外滩美术馆 × Parapraxis 晚夏课堂 2026：庇护与异化”由公共项目主管张耀南（Eugene Yiu Nam Cheung）策划，项目助理策展人赵一冰（Tintin Zhao）及项目助理吴明慧（Zelda Wu）协力支持。
Rockbund Art Museum × Parapraxis: Late Summer School 2026
Asylum has long carried a double meaning: to take refuge and to offer cure for that which ails us. Alienation, too, carries a double meaning: psychic isolation and material disidentification.
But asylums themselves—like any institution—also contribute to alienation and its cure. This was first observed by the Catalan psychoanalyst Francesc Tosquelles in the 1930s. Famous for his work in the south of France at Saint-Alban hospital, Tosquelles thought institutions could be “cured” and provide the spaces necessary to unlearn certain forms of social and political conditioning—what he called “disalienation.” Scaled up, these spaces could even cure society. After the fact, this practice was termed “institutional psychotherapy.” For the 2026 Late Summer School at Rockbund Art Museum, Parapraxis have been invited to organize and lead a group experiment to do just this: participants will work, study, and share in the running of a temporary collective. Participants will also be guided through sites that are central to the history and culture of mental health practice in Shanghai, including a visit to the historic Shanghai Mercy Hospital; China’s first art gallery inside a mental health institution (No. 600); and the residences of May Fourth-era writers whose literary works engaged with psychoanalytic concepts.
This edition of Late Summer School will be delivered through two interconnected streams. Each day is structured by a large group meeting and two smaller task groups that participants will rotate through across the week. Field trips, poetry readings, screenings, lectures, and talks will focus on historical and methodological engagements with individuals and collectives experimenting in artistic, militant, and research milieus.
RAM × Parapraxis Late Summer School 2026: Asylum & Alienation is curated by Eugene Yiu Nam Cheung, Head of Programs, with support from Tintin Zhao, Assistant Curator, Programs, and Zelda Wu, Programs Assistant.
